Re: [L-OT] Is it possible for 2 or more programs to share Asio drivers

If the card is multiclient it must work like

Mixtreme Features

The Mixtreme features on-board DSP processing (Motorola 56301 chip) for 
its mixer and effects. As a result, low latency times can be achieved 
because the effects/mixer processing is occurring in the DSP engine not 
in the host CPU. One important feature of the Mixtreme architecture is 
its multi-client ability. This means that you can run several different 
programs, under different formats all within one session. These can be 
routed, at will, through your choice of channels and outputs. The 
ability to engage in multi-client processing opens up tremendous 
possibilities for combining software synthesizer/loops applications in 
real-time with audio/MIDI applications. For instance, the user could 
incorporate/play a software synthesizer that is playing at the same time 
as prerecorded audio, mixed in with a MIDI sequence. The Mixtreme system 
is not the only one capable of this (the Terratec EWS88 comes to mind) 
but those systems put the load on the host CPU. The DSP processing on 
the Mixtreme enables real-time processing of all of these different 
elements, providing a very flexible environment for creating music while 
putting minimal load on the host CPU.


 marc8 uses formerly Siena by SEKD now www.marian.de uses 4 STEREO 
DIRECT OUTS and also works
N.B an ASIO card with midi onboard maybe a problem though REAKTOR by the 
way is a standalone application
and likes to grab the Card so best is to dedicate perhaps a cheaper card 
to just that application ie a SIENA/MARC8 is a multi
direct i/o card but best is using each card just for that application 
which WIN98/ME can handle. BTW logic's 5 with ES2
 EVOC 20 competes very favourably with REAKTOR
so the answer is
Yes !!
